Nutting out your kit…

GIve yourself an hour or two to chill out and make a mug for your cuppa!

A few things to consider:

  • Your clay will shrink about 12% from first making to the finished product.

  • The weather will impact how fast/slow your clay dries, just go with it, don’t rush it by putting it in the sun as it will cause cracking.

  • If it all fails you can scrunch it up and start again!

  • Try to resist the urge to use too much water - it might look nice now, but will crack eventually! Instead, use your fingers to compress any lumps and bumps and ugly areas.

  • If your clay is too wet to respond how you want, just leave where it is, out of the sun and check back every 30 mins.
